Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York September 15, 2011 (Crenshaw v. Fischer)

While petitioner was being released from the dormitory entrance to get his legal mail, a correction officer noticed a suspicious bulge in his jacket and told him to lift it. Although petitioner initially refused, he later complied, at which point the officer noticed that petitioner’s pants were sitting far below his waist, an issue for which he had previously been counseled.
